According to the IDC, the global Internet of Things (IoT) market will reach $3.04USD trillion by 2020, representing 30 billion connected devices.

Industry 4.0 is characterized primarily by the transformation of traditional processes into intelligent processes in all areas of business. It relies heavily on virtualization and the interconnection of smart objects. This wave of technological advancements includes applications such as :

Internet of Things (IoT)

Artificial intelligence

Machine learning

Augmented reality

Additive manufacturing (3D printing)

Big Data and analytics

The digital transformation is a real opportunity for business development and an avenue to overcome the labor shortage. However, you must expect radical changes not only to your information systems and processes, but also to your management approach, business models and manpower. Like any good thing, the implementation of digital transformation integrated into an organization's corporate strategy represents some challenges. Here are the main ones :

Software connectivity of equipment, workstations

Standardization of processes that facilitate data sharing

Control over work methods and processes

Access to specialists in digital technologies

The development of new skills

On Route to Industry 4.0, Think Lean

In your quest for operational excellence, Industry 4.0 is not a new flavor of the month, but the next logical step in Lean Management. You will discover that the true value is in business continuity. According to the Boston Consulting Group, manufacturers who have successfully rolled out what they call "Lean Industry 4.0" have cut costs by as much as 40 percent in 5 to 10 years. This is a significantly better performance than the independent Lean deployment (15 to 20%) and 4.0 (10 to 15%).
